Colin Simms lives in the north of England, with journeys throughout the northern hemisphere, wherever his objectives live - his homes have been where the martens, otters, birds of prey and other enthusiasms are. Not an orthodox conservationist, he upholds the privacy, ‘isness’, for wildlife which modern trends deny - also a concern for precise observation, apposite language and cadence.
Jacob Polley was born in Carlisle in 1975. He’s the author of two collections of poetry with Picador, The Brink (2003) and Little Gods (2006). His first novel with Picador, Talk of the Town, came out in 2009. He co-wrote the short film Flickerman and the Ivory-skinned Woman with the director Ian Fenton. In 2002 he won an Eric Gregory award and the Radio 4/Arts Council First Verse award. Selected as one of the Next Generation of British poets in 2004, he was Visiting Fellow Commoner in Creative Arts at Trinity College, Cambridge, 2005-7.
